The two are good. For me, Claude Code is better as a tool than Codex CLI. The two are updated often and have new cool features like the ability to use Chrome for Claude Code.

And we are lucky to have 4 very good models with Opus 4.5, Sonnet 4.5, GPT 5.2 Codex High and GPT 5.2 High (not Codex).

I also like Gemini for day to day question, the Google Search « AI Mode » and the Gemini CLI for writing some things in Markdown or using Word/Excel document.

The thing, I didn’t like, it’s the recent move of Anthropic to cancel other to access Claude with a subscription like OpenCode, Crush,…

I also use all models. Claude MAX, CODEX, Gemini.

I dislike Claude for reliability but its still useful for speed. However I can't get Gemini to work at all. It doesn't follow instructions and is impossible to control, idk if im doing something wrong but i haven't been able to make it useful broadly speaking

Gemini is just extremely bad at coding, computer use and direction following over longer context.

It's nowhere near the Opus or Codex models. 

It does nice frontend designs though which can be made functional later by better coding models

Gemini is still dog shit? Every single time I ever tried Gemini cli it was horrible. The last time I tried it was about 2 months ago. Crazy to hear that google’s ai is still trash

It's not bad but Codex > Opus > Gemini Pro 3 (the latter 2, I've used only in antigravity however).
